Chapter 192: Flame God Cult (1)

Port Royal on Jamaica Island. Three months ago, it was still an important port city of the British Empire. It was once the most dazzling jewel of the British Empire in the Caribbean. It was also the British victory over the Spanish. The glorious proof that many parties have won maritime hegemony!
However, now all of this has become a thing of the past!
Because here in Port Royal, it has no longer belonged to the British since three months ago! Now, it is the capital city of a new witch power called the Flame God.
So far, in the entire Caribbean, there is no one who doesn’t know about Flame Gods and witches. Whether in the New World or in Europe, some people have gradually begun to talk about the pagans who occupy the cities. Those flags are the five clubs. Five fireball cultists with moving flame patterns.
It is said that the church has worked hard to connect European countries, planning to organize a new sea crusade? Use a huge fleet and military power to teach those witches, let them know that the dignity of the church cannot be offended?
It's just that the Crusades on the Westward Seas and other things, maybe within a year and a half, it will definitely be out of play.
After all, the efficiency of this world is not so high, and the preparations for large-scale military operations are not so simple to complete, and the swindling caused by the plundering of colonies between countries cannot be done in a short time. It can straighten out and unite them within.
Therefore, they decided to temporarily let the witches who were entrenched in Port Royal and wiped out the British Caribbean Fleet continue to linger for a while...
Now, the port of Port Royal has finally become extremely prosperous again.
In the port, you can see everywhere, all kinds of merchant ships of different national styles and flags are docked inside and out. The hired workers on the wharf are also busy loading and unloading various goods and supplies. However, more of them are now unloading, and few goods are loaded, at most just some necessary supplies.
Since the witches occupying Port Royal released the high-value reward mission news and spread throughout the Caribbean, various merchants gathered from all over the world like sharks that smelled the fishy smell, and directly released special rewards. The Port Royal Office of the mission was overcrowded.
Here in the port office, merchants or shipowners from various countries gathered noisily, no matter it is France, Spain, the Netherlands or even the British! Even, there are still a few well-known pirates on the list?
In this year, the merchants who live on the sea, whether you are in Port Royal by the British or witch-occupied, as long as you have money to earn and have a lot of gold coins to get, they can let them work for you!
As long as the benefits are sufficiently tempting, such as encountering a lowly armed fat sheep at sea, it can make a self-proclaimed businessman become a pirate in minutes! What's more, this is a legitimate transportation job now?
In short, in one sentence, as long as they have enough money, these people dare to do anything! Now it's just to receive the witch's reward quest to help them buy a few ships of goods, let alone.
As for the fear of being retaliated by the British when working for a witch?
That would be even more funny, as long as people who are not blind can see the rows of huge ferocious warships on the side of the Port Royal military zone!
It is said that those warships were directly captured after the witches wiped out the Caribbean Fleet. They have been parked in the military zone of the port for almost a month, right?
There is a rumor that the witches are now having a headache how to deal with these ships! You know, these witches, they don't have enough captains and sailors to pilot them.
So, in this situation, before the British have not figured out the truth of the facts and the truth of the witch, where can they dare to retaliate?
Not to mention the British. Now, here in the Caribbean, even Spanish, French or Dutch warships, when they are passing through Port Royal, they deliberately avoid and go around a large circle. Yes, I'm afraid that I accidentally provoke the terrifying witch, which will cause unnecessary trouble.
Since the witches took over here, Port Royal has become more and more prosperous. The witches and these merchant shipowners have formed a mutually beneficial situation: the witches rely on the merchants to obtain all kinds of urgently needed supplies, and the merchants also get from the witches Earn a huge amount of gold coins here, and the citizens of Port Royal have made more money from the arriving seamen and sailors that they would never have imagined before.
After all, merchant ships always load and unload their cargo after they arrive at the port. They often stop for several days. Those crew members and sailors always have to eat, drink and have fun, right? Few merchant ships after unloading are willing to leave empty, so you should always bring some local products, right? This inadvertently drove the economy of Port Royal, making it prosperous here.
If we only talk about the traffic flow of merchant ships, at least here is at least several times higher than when the British occupied it!
It can be seen from the port pier, because now there are more than 20 new simple wooden piers for the unloading and docking of small and medium-sized boats!
However, even under such circumstances, the port of Port Royal is still extremely crowded. In desperation, many ships have to anchor directly outside the wharf, relying on the small boats to load and unload goods back and forth. .
"Hi! Are you okay? Old Billy? What task have you taken up recently?"
A bearded old man dressed in alcohol and dressed as a captain walked over with open hands, and stepped forward to give another old captain a big hug who was supervising the sailors hoisting supplies on the pier.
Their boats were docked on both sides of the largest and best stone pier at this time. That's because the ships of the two of them happen to be huge merchant ships, and they have recently helped the witches transport a lot of supplies, so they are naturally eligible to use this largest and best unloading dock.
"So it's you! Old drunkard? Tsk tsk, the smell of alcohol on you is still so strong!"
After the two embraced enthusiastically, they patted each other on the back before they separated, and then old Billy began to greet the old friend in front of him in large numbers.
"My task is still the same, luxurious building materials, by the way, recruit a group of workers who can sculpt. What about you? What task did you take?"
They all know that the witches plan to choose a place outside the city to build a majestic palace, so almost all recent transportation tasks are related to this matter.
"Me? Haha! I took the lacquer task for a whole ship!"
The drunk captain wiped the dregs of wine on his beard, and gestured with his hands proudly.
"Raw lacquer? This thing is not easy to get..."
Old Billy frowned. Of course, he knew where the raw lacquer could be obtained. He had seen this task before.
Although the reward for this task is very high, it's just that he thinks it is too long, and a round trip is too time-consuming, isn't it too cost-effective? Therefore, after much consideration, in order to receive more tasks and earn a few more trips, he gritted his teeth and gave up the task, and instead took over the task of acquiring luxurious and precious building materials.
"Under normal circumstances, it's not easy to get it. After all, the place of production is too far! But... I recently had a friend who just knows where there are such a batch of goods, and the price is only 60% of the usual! , Hehe, you know."
The old drunk smiled triumphantly at old Billy, squeezed his eyes, and gave the other person a look that could be understood by each other. When he spoke, bursts of unpleasant smell came out from his wide lips. Alcoholic.
"Hehe...I understand, I understand!"
Old Billy looked at the old friend in an angry manner, and patted him the shoulder.
This bastard, must have acquired such a batch of raw lacquer from a certain pirate? Really cheap, this old bastard, unexpectedly encountered such a cheap thing at this stall!
You know, when pirates sell goods, usually, they are only 60 to 80% of the normal price, and sometimes even less! In this way, it is not difficult to imagine how much benefit this drunkard can make after this trip?
"Okay, okay! Let's not talk about these annoying things! Now I invite you to drink! I treat you! Drink as you like! How about?"
This old drunkard who has always been stingy, after making another windfall, was rare and proud. In this way, he must have made a lot of money recently?
"Drink..."
Old Billy frowned and thought about it. He estimated in his mind how long it would take his merchant ship to unload and load supplies.
Because he has learned that once he goes to drink with this old drunkard without alcohol, he must have a hangover for a day or two! At that time, if you miss the best date for sailing, it will be very bad. After all, the time now is equivalent to shiny gold coins!
"Get out! Get out! Everyone, all out!"
As old Billy was weighing whether to accept the invitation of the old drunkard, a team of cavalry in red cloaks rushed towards the stone pier where they were standing.
And behind these cavalry, there were hundreds of ordinary silver armored soldiers armed with muskets. These soldiers on foot are not full body armor like cavalry, but only have a silver breastplate with a flame pattern and a silver open helmet, a shield behind them, and a short sword at the waist.
In the past three months, especially after the previous eradication of the Caribbean Fleet, the strength of the witches has once again made considerable progress!
More and more citizens are beginning to believe that the witches have enough power to continue to develop here in Jamaica. Therefore, more people choose to join the flame cult.
Therefore, in just three months, Charlotte’s men already had more than a hundred combat witches, plus more than a thousand knights of the Guardian Knights. They are also called the Flame Knights. .
Then, there are ordinary soldiers with nearly two thousand people. These ordinary soldiers are also called flame soldiers by the citizens. They are equipped with short swords that are simply enchanted with flames, five iron shields with a flame pattern on their backs, plus a musket, and some ammunition at their waists.
Most of these ordinary soldiers came from the British soldiers after they were captured. Anyway, the witches have captured nearly 10,000 prisoners. Among them, the most indispensable are those who sacrificed their lives for money. The wall is grassy! They often only need to slightly adapt and change their outfits, and they will soon become the people of the Flame God Cult!
Those who refused to do this are still working as coolies on the construction sites outside the city. Before no one comes to redeem them, I'm afraid they can only continue to work. Where are these two or five boys who take refuge in witches to live comfortably?
"Who owns these two merchant ships? Now, let the ship get out of here! This place has been temporarily expropriated!"
Mary Chaska strangled her horse a little strangely, and stopped dangerously in front of the old Billy and the old drunkard.
It has only been less than three months since she started to practice riding horses. She can reach her current level, and it is quite good that she didn't hit the two of them into the sea!
"Sir, sir? These two ships belong to ours. May I ask, did something happen? Why do we need to requisition the dock?"
The sudden occurrence of this kind of thing caught them off guard.
Because both of their ships have just begun to unload, and if the dock is to be changed, at least a whole day will be wasted.
"Don't ask too much! Now, immediately move your boat to the pier over there!"
After Mary took off her helmet, she gave them a stern look.
Then, she held her red helmet in one hand and pointed at a wooden temporary pier in the distance that was still empty. Now things are a bit urgent, she doesn't want to spend time here with these two ship owners, otherwise, Sister Charlotte will punish herself!
"Yes, yes! We'll leave now! Let's leave now!"
After seeing the witch riding on the horse get angry, the two quickly bowed their heads.
Then, they turned their heads to greet their sailors, and untied the cables tied to the pier, ready to move their cargo ships to the low temporary pier in the distance.
"Who is in charge here? Come out!"
After sending away the two old captains, Mary began to look around anxiously and asked loudly.
This time, the time is very tight and the task is also very arduous, and she seems to have never had similar experience, so she can't help but not be nervous!
She has just received an order that she must take care of everything in the dock before dusk arrives.
In the future, more people will rush towards the dock. Today's task is very important to their witches and flame gods, and she can't tolerate the slightest mistake here!
"Dear Priest Mary, I'm Charlie, the general secretary of the port here. May I ask, what can I do for you?"
At this time, a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance hurriedly walked out of the crowd of onlookers, and gracefully gave a hat to Mary Chaska on the horse.
Of course he recognized Mary and the other party's attire, the red armor and the golden flame cloak, which were the special armor and cloak for the goddess worship in the Flame God! It is said that there are currently only four in the entire Flame God Sect? Therefore, it is impossible for him to make a mistake.
Charlie was originally a downright little nobleman. Later, relying on the skin of a nobleman, he reluctantly became a small steward of the dock here in Port Royal, and his life was worry-free. However, if you want to make a fortune or get promoted, you are definitely hopeless.
However, after the witches occupied Port Royal, he saw the opportunity and immediately transformed himself into the first batch of believers who surrendered to the Flame God cult!
Then, of course, with his own experience and knowledge, he won the port affairs officer, who manages the entire port and all the civil terminals. As a result, not only his salary has doubled, but even his gray income has made him rich quickly.
Therefore, when it comes to the degree of support and loyalty to the Flame Gods, perhaps, in the entire Port Royal, he is one of the highest group of people!
"Oh? It turned out to be you... Then it will be easy! Now, I hope you clean up all the debris from this pier to the city gate before dusk! And, fifty meters on both sides of the road Inside, no one is allowed to approach! The soldiers behind me will assist you. Is there any problem?"
Mary certainly knew this Charlie Herbert, he was the earliest believer of the Flame God Cult. Now, the other party has a high reputation in the God Cult.
It is said that he is also very capable of management and loyal to the religion. Unfortunately, he is a man and is too old to enter the Witch Academy to learn magic, nor can he enter the army of the religion. Qualifications, maybe, he will be a missionary at most in the future? Or is it the governor of the same place?
Anyway~EbookFREE.me~Mary also knew that Sister Charlotte would definitely not be satisfied if she occupied a Port Royal, but she had seen that Sister Charlotte drew a big red circle in the entire New World area. At that time, this Charlie must be useful.
"As you wish, honorable Lord Sacrifice! Soon, I will take care of everything."
After another salute, Charlie turned and left. He planned to summon his group of men and quickly assign tasks.
This kind of thing is too easy for him. Before dusk, he will definitely be able to overfulfill the task!
The action of the gods was very abnormal. Although there was a vague guess in his heart, he was as wise as he did not ask much.
He has been in officialdom for many years, so he will not be so stupid to ask his boss why he did things. For him, it is the right thing to bury his head in doing things, so that he can leave a good impression on him that he can and can do things!
Moreover, he is very confident in the development of Flame God Cult! Now, he is very satisfied with the speed of the strength development of the religion. In addition, his current status in the religion is not low. Therefore, he has a longing for his future achievements!
Although he didn't know the saying that power came out of the barrel of a gun, he also understood that if the Flame God Sect continued to develop like this, with the extraordinary power of the witches, with their fanatical faith and magic, Everything in the world will be unstoppable!
Charlie Herbert has already dismissed his original status as a little British nobleman!
What he wants, but those higher and more noble existences! You know, this new continent is very big, but this world is even bigger!
